I'm almost always in the 15 or 17 tooth cogs and middle chainring. I was just reading how the smaller cogs can wear out a chain quicker than larger ones. I'm gonna switch it up to 23 and 26 & the large chainring for a while. I do have concerns about crosschaining and extra noise but so be it.
The thread titled "Anyone Tracking Gear Usage" got me thinking about this.
If the 26 is your biggest cog and 23 is your second biggest, I wouldn't cruise on those cogs with the big chainring.
